WHAT I WANT FROM YOU

I have never thought of expressing my feelings to you in black and white 
But I need to let you know how it feels inside
Truth is I have been having a crush on you
Something about you keeps pulling my heart to you
I know we all have our differences
But love means the same when translated to different languages
What I want from you is to accept me for who I am
Accept me for not being man enough for you
So you can teach me how to be a better man

I want you to hold my hands and tell me sweet things
What I want from you is to love me unconditionally
Because sometimes I may be a pain in the ass
I know I don’t deserve to be with you
I may not have been honest, caring, sincere nor accommodating
But I know one thing is certain
That what I feel for you inside my heart is real
And as much as I hate to admit it
I have fallen in love with you for real
And it gets stronger every day that passes by
I don't want you to love me back
Just acknowledgment you are aware of my feelings
And pretend you will love me back
All I need from you is a chance to show as bad as a man can be
He will always have feelings for someone he loves
What I want from you is to give me a chance
Just one chance to show you, that love can change a man's heart completely

CAST A STONE

Cast a stone if you are not guilty of dishonesty

Cast a stone if you believe love is not meant to be

Cast a stone if there are no clouds above your head

Cast a stone if truly you have never been heard

Cast a stone if you've never gotten help when in time of need

Cast a stone if you think the future can't be predetermined

Cast a stone if your purpose in life is defiled

Cast a stone if you have never ever lied

Cast a stone if it has never rained in your life

Cast a stone if you have never had a reason to smile

Cast a stone if it's by your grace you are still alive

Cast a stone if you are not aware of God's love for you

Cast a stone if there is no one out there who cares about you

Cast a stone if you feel out of the failures in life you can't be successful

Cast a stone if Gods words got nothing to do with you

Cast a stone if you were not created beautiful

Cast a stone if you think there are no angels watching over you

Cast a stone if you think God can't take care of you

CONVICTED

Life has been cruel the past few years

I have been convicted of almost everything I care

Convicted for loving my parents, brothers, sisters and neighbors

Convicted for been kind to everyone around me

Convicted for been poor because I can't afford the good things in life

Convicted for becoming successful and blessed in life

Convicted for living a godly life, and for depriving oneself from the things of the world

Convicted for dropping out of college and for not been able to get a job

I am convicted for been afraid to love, because my heart has been betrayed before

Convicted for speaking in the public about corrupt leaders in our society

Convicted for expressing my opinion about the things I am not happy with

Every way I am a victim in all aspect of  life

I am convicted because I couldn't fight for the things believed in

And can't do anything about life and society I am living in
